Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the judgment of the Supreme Court of North Carolina is reversed. See Tiller v. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co., 318 U. S. 54 (1943); Bailey v. Central Vermont R. Co., 319 U. S. 350 (1943); and Ellis v. Union Pacific R. Co., 329 U. S. 649 (1947). Mr. Justice Frankfurter is of opinion that the petition for certiorari should not be granted, for reasons indicated in his concurring opinion in Wilkerson v. McCarthy, 336 U. S. 53, at p. 64.
